You, Me and Dupree

Directors: Anthony and Joe Russo

Cast: Owen Wilson, Matt Dillon, Kate Hudson, Michael Douglas

Cert: 12

We’ve had plenty of stories just like this in the long history of the cinema – the awful friend who comes to stay, and stay, and stay – so Wilson, a decent enough comedian, offers us very little that’s new in what is merely a passable affair.

It’s funny enough and inventive enough but there’s nothing startlingly original about it.

Dillon and Hudson make a nice, comfortable couple whose lives are wrecked by the arrival of the cringe-making Dupree, the sort of surprise guest who simply doesn’t know when to depart, and while he stays produces one gaff after another.

Star Rating: 2/5
